2022 Honda Civic 1.0L Petrol · LD22 FLA

A recurring pattern of failures and advisories concerning tyres and braking components defines the roadworthiness record of this vehicle. While it achieved a pass on 2 March 2026, this followed a failure categorized as dangerous due to the nearside front tyre tread being completely worn away. The history shows a persistent trend of tyres reaching their legal limit and rear brake pads wearing thin, both of which have appeared across multiple testing cycles. The recorded mileage of 74,026 miles over approximately four years represents a high annual accumulation rate of roughly 18,506 miles. This level of usage typically results in accelerated wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and braking systems compared to average vehicle usage. The high mileage correlates with the frequent tyre and brake pad advisories noted in the DVSA records. Immediate attention should be given to the braking system and tyre condition. The rear brake pads have been flagged as wearing thin in both the 2025 and 2026 tests, suggesting they are nearing the end of their service life. During a test drive, listen for any grinding noises from the rear wheels and monitor for a softening of the brake pedal or an increase in stopping distances. The tyre history is particularly notable, with repeated advisories for wear on the offside front and rear, as well as a dangerous failure on the nearside front. A physical inspection should be conducted to check for uneven wear patterns, which could indicate an alignment issue or worn suspension components. Additionally, examine the rear tyres for the cracking and perishing noted in the March 2026 record, and ensure the rear registration plate is secure and legible.
